On the "marketing endeavor", the Ministry has used customized international marketing solutions to maximize the visibility of the teams' display, by making videos to strengthen the images of the teams, and quickly fitting the 2D product pictures to the 3D panoramic background to create a visual experience like the viewer's showing up on the scene in person, for maximum attraction. On the "global connection", diversified online matchmaking exchange and Pitch events are given to help the teams connect to global vendors and venture capitals. All the elaborations will draw high global attention to Taiwan's technological innovations.
